Katherine Grainger: why she should win Sports Personality of the Year – videohttp://www.theguardian.com/sport/video/2012/dec/15/katherine-grainger-sports-personality-year-video
Rob Bagchi argues that Olympic gold medal-winning rower Katherine Grainger would be a deserving recipient of the 2012 BBC prize. After a trio of consecutive silvers at Games past, Grainger finally won gold at London 2012 at the age of 36. With her partner Anna Watkins, the Scottish rower also broke the world record in the double sculls <a href="http://www.theguardian.com/sport/video/2012/dec/15/katherine-grainger-sports-personality-year-video">Continue reading...</a>BBC Sports Personality of the YearRowingOlympics 2012: rowingTeam GBTeam GB Olympic goldOlympic Games 2012SportOlympicsSat, 15 Dec 2012 14:00:00 GMThttp://www.theguardian.com/sport/video/2012/dec/15/katherine-grainger-sports-personality-year-videoguardian.co.uk/guardian.co.ukKatherine Grainger celebrates winning gold at London 2012 Photograph: guardian.co.ukRob Bagchi2012-12-15T14:00:00ZChris Hoy: why he should win Sports Personality of the Year – videohttp://www.theguardian.com/sport/video/2012/dec/15/chris-hoy-sports-personality-year-video
Simon Burnton argues the case for six-time Olympic gold medalist Sir Chris Hoy to win the 2012 BBC gong. Hoy is the most successful British Olympian of all time, with seven medals across four Games. He has already won the Sports Personality of the Year award once, in 2008, after three golds in Beijing <a href="http://www.theguardian.com/sport/video/2012/dec/15/chris-hoy-sports-personality-year-video">Continue reading...</a>Sir Chris HoyBBC Sports Personality of the YearCyclingOlympics 2012: cyclingTeam GBTeam GB Olympic goldOlympic Games 2012SportOlympicsSat, 15 Dec 2012 09:42:00 GMThttp://www.theguardian.com/sport/video/2012/dec/15/chris-hoy-sports-personality-year-videoguardian.co.uk/guardian.co.ukChris Hoy at the London Olympic velodrome Photograph: guardian.co.ukSimon Burnton2012-12-15T09:42:00ZDavid Weir: why he should win Sports Personality of the Year - videohttp://www.theguardian.com/sport/video/2012/dec/14/david-weir-sports-personality-year-video
Barry Glendenning argues that Paralympic wheelchair athlete David Weir should win the 2012 BBC gong. The 'Weirwolf' won gold at four distances in London, having taken part in seven races over 10 days and completing over 35 miles. His exploits also mean he's unlikely to be mistaken for the Scottish footballer of the same name again <a href="http://www.theguardian.com/sport/video/2012/dec/14/david-weir-sports-personality-year-video">Continue reading...</a>BBC Sports Personality of the YearParalympics 2012: athleticsParalympics 2012ParalympicsGBParalympicsGB medalsTeam GBSportFri, 14 Dec 2012 13:00:00 GMThttp://www.theguardian.com/sport/video/2012/dec/14/david-weir-sports-personality-year-videoguardian.co.uk/guardian.co.ukDavid Weir wins another Paralympic gold Photograph: guardian.co.ukBarry Glendenning2012-12-14T13:00:00ZNicola Adams: why she should win Sports Personality of the Year – videohttp://www.theguardian.com/sport/video/2012/dec/13/nicola-adams-sports-personality-year-video
Gregg Bakowski makes the case for the first woman to win Olympic boxing gold to take home the 2012 BBC Sports Personality of the Year prize. Nicola Adams's defeat of Chinese world champion and world No1 Ren Cancan secured her place in the history books, while the smile she wore throughout the Games ensured her popularity with the British public <a href="http://www.theguardian.com/sport/video/2012/dec/13/nicola-adams-sports-personality-year-video">Continue reading...</a>BBC Sports Personality of the YearNicola AdamsBoxingOlympics 2012: boxingLondon 2012 Olympic goldOlympic Games 2012Team GB Olympic goldTeam GBSportOlympicsThu, 13 Dec 2012 15:00:00 GMThttp://www.theguardian.com/sport/video/2012/dec/13/nicola-adams-sports-personality-year-videoguardian.co.uk/guardian.co.ukNicola Adams on her way to boxing gold

John Ashdown argues that bookies' favourite Bradley Wiggins should be named the 2012 BBC Sports Personality of the Year. He made history by becoming the first British cyclist to win the Tour de France, as well as picking up wins at Paris-Nice, the Critérium du Dauphiné and Olympic time trial gold <a href="http://www.theguardian.com/sport/video/2012/dec/13/bradley-wiggins-sports-personality-year-video">Continue reading...</a>BBC Sports Personality of the YearSir Bradley WigginsCyclingOlympics 2012: cyclingTour de France 2012Tour de FranceTeam GBTeam GB Olympic goldOlympic Games 2012SportOlympicsThu, 13 Dec 2012 09:00:00 GMThttp://www.theguardian.com/sport/video/2012/dec/13/bradley-wiggins-sports-personality-year-videoguardian.co.uk/guardian.co.ukBradley Wiggins holds aloft the Union flag after winning the Tour de France Photograph: guardian.co.ukJohn Ashdown2012-12-13T09:00:00ZAndy Murray: why he should win Sports Personality of the Year – videohttp://www.theguardian.com/sport/video/2012/dec/12/andy-murray-sports-personality-year-video
Katy Murrells serves up a list of reasons why Andy Murray should take home this year's Sports Personality award. In a year that saw the Scot become the first British man to win a grand slam singles title since 1936, he also reached the Wimbledon final, won gold and silver at the Olympics, and endeared himself to the British public by crying on Centre Court <a href="http://www.theguardian.com/sport/video/2012/dec/12/andy-murray-sports-personality-year-video">Continue reading...</a>Andy MurrayBBC Sports Personality of the YearTennisOlympics 2012: tennisOlympic Games 2012Team GBSportOlympicsWed, 12 Dec 2012 09:00:00 GMThttp://www.theguardian.com/sport/video/2012/dec/12/andy-murray-sports-personality-year-videoguardian.co.uk/guardian.co.ukAndy Murray kisses the US Open trophy Photograph: guardian.co.ukKaty Murrells2012-12-12T09:00:00ZBen Ainslie: why he should win Sports Personality of the Year – videohttp://www.theguardian.com/sport/video/2012/dec/10/ben-ainslie-sports-personality-of-the-year-video
Barney Ronay makes the case for the greatest Olympic sailor the world has seen, Ben Ainslie, to take home the BBC Sports Personality gong. Ainslie collected his fifth Olympic medal – and fourth consecutive gold – on the water at Weymouth this summer, to end an Olympic career stretching back to Atlanta 1996 <a href="http://www.theguardian.com/sport/video/2012/dec/10/ben-ainslie-sports-personality-of-the-year-video">Continue reading...</a>Ben AinslieBBC Sports Personality of the YearSailingOlympics 2012: sailingLondon 2012 Olympic goldOlympic Games 2012Team GB Olympic goldTeam GBSportOlympicsMon, 10 Dec 2012 12:00:00 GMThttp://www.theguardian.com/sport/video/2012/dec/10/ben-ainslie-sports-personality-of-the-year-videoguardian.co.uk/guardian.co.ukBen Ainslie after winning Olympic gold Photograph: guardian.co.ukBarney Ronay2012-12-10T12:00:00ZJessica Ennis: why she should win Sports Personality of the Year – videohttp://www.theguardian.com/sport/video/2012/dec/10/jessica-ennis-sports-personality-of-the-year-video
In the first video of the Guardian's BBC Sports Personality of the Year hustings, Ian Prior gives his reasons for Jessica Ennis, London 2012 poster girl and under-pressure Olympian, to win the gong. With her image on billboards all over the city, Ennis was British athletics' greatest hope of gold at the London Games, but the style with which she achieved her goal surely makes her a favourite for the prize <a href="http://www.theguardian.com/sport/video/2012/dec/10/jessica-ennis-sports-personality-of-the-year-video">Continue reading...</a>Jessica Ennis-HillBBC Sports Personality of the YearAthleticsOlympics 2012: athleticsOlympic Games 2012London 2012 Olympic goldTeam GB Olympic goldTeam GBSportOlympicsMon, 10 Dec 2012 09:00:00 GMThttp://www.theguardian.com/sport/video/2012/dec/10/jessica-ennis-sports-personality-of-the-year-videoguardian.co.uk/guardian.co.ukJessica Ennis salutes the crowd at the Olympic stadium Photograph: guardian.co.ukIan Prior2012-12-10T09:00:00Z
